ScotRail fares decision 'before year-end' [BBC News]

The Scottish government has promised a decision on rail fares before the end of the year.
Across the UK, train fares will go up by an average of 2.3% from 2 January.
Regulated ScotRail fares are currently capped at the level of the Retail Price Index (RPI). Off-peak regulated fares are capped at 1% below RPI.
Scottish Labour has called for ScotRail fares to be frozen, an idea First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said could be considered.
A Scottish government spokeswoman said: 'No final decision has been taken on next year's fares in Scotland and we are looking at options before the end of the year.
